Integrating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Management of Functional Neurological Disorder: School Nurse Guide

Thursday, June 26, 2025 4:00 PM - 5:15 PM at IN-PERSON NASN2025

This insightful presentation will explore FND and  how factors like cultural background, socioeconomic status, and identity can influence a student's experience, their access to care, and family engagement. You'll gain practical strategies to:

  • Recognize potential biases in assessment and support.     
  • Foster more equitable communication with students and families.       
  • Develop inclusive care plans tailored to diverse needs.

Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your understanding and practical skills in managing FND with a DEI-informed approach. Mark your calendars and empower yourself to create a more supportive environment for every student. Mariah and I look forward to seeing you there!
